Publication number: 20080282290Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable media are presented for displaying an interactive viewer associated with an advertisement within a user interface. In one aspect, the system includes an advertisement manager for providing advertisements in response to request from clients. The system further includes a rendering component for determining if an advertisement has an associated interactive viewer, determining features associated with the advertisement, and displaying the interactive viewer including the determined features. Additionally, the system includes an event tracking module for monitoring a user's interaction with the interactive viewer, and reporting feedback regarding the interaction to the advertisement manager.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2007Publication date: November 13, 2008Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Mansoor Malik, Scott Tomlin, Phani Vaddadi, Mark Masterson, Tarek Najm, Ying Li, Raxit Kagalwala, Kevin Riedy, Li Li

Patent number: 7441024Abstract: A policy handling system creates multiple policies and associates each of the multiple policies with at least one target node in an enterprise. The system then applies each of the multiple policies to the appropriate target node. The multiple policies can be event-handling policies. Each policy can be associated with a group of target nodes in which the group of target nodes share a common relationship. Domain controllers receive the multiple policies and apply the policies to the appropriate target nodes. A meta-policy is used to control the application of the multiple policies to the proper target nodes.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2005Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ashvinkumar J. Sanghvi, Howard M. Hance, Lev Novik, Raxit A. Kagalwala

Publication number: 20060122889Abstract: Systems and method for managing a plurality of content items designated for placement in a particular position on a rendered page are provided. Methods in accordance with the present invention include receiving a plurality of content items, determining an initial placement allocation frequency for each content item, collecting performance data for one or more of the content items, and determining at least one additional allocation frequency in accordance with the performance data collected. Methods of the present invention may further include randomly allocating placement of each of the content items in the particular position on the page in accordance with one of the respective initial and/or additional allocation frequency for each content item. Additionally, the present invention provides systems and methods for automatically managing a plurality of content items to be displayed in a particular position on a rendered page such that value to the content provider may be maximized.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2004Publication date: June 8, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Brian Burdick, Christopher Meek, David Heckerman, David Chickering, Joshua Forman, Kevin Kornelson, Murali Vajjiravel, Rajeev Prasad, Raxit Kagalwala, Tarek Najm, Sachin Dhawan

Patent number: 7020655Abstract: A database schema includes database classes that represent various database objects (e.g., tables, views, etc.) and user classes that represent users and roles of the database. The database schema also has permission classes that represent permissions of the users/roles with respect to the database objects. The permission classes are modeled in the database schema as associations between database classes and user classes.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2004Date of Patent: March 28, 2006Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Raxit A. Kagalwala, John Patrick Thompson

Patent number: 6990499Abstract: Described above is a schema extension of the Common Information Model (CIM), designed to model manageable aspects of a database server such as a Structure Query Language (SQL) server. The database schema contains a view of user-related classes of the operating system schema. These classes are in a different namespace than the database schema. The database schema includes associations between its user-related classes and the user-related classes of the operating system. These associations map database users to operating system users.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2004Date of Patent: January 24, 2006Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Raxit A. Kagalwala, David P. Wohlferd

Patent number: 6961730Abstract: Described herein is a schema extension of the Common Information Model (CIM), designed to model manageable aspects of a database server such as a Structure Query Language (SQL) server. The database schema contains a data file class that represents files associated with databases. The operating system also has a data file class, representing files that are managed by the operating system. An association is defined between the two data file classes, allowing queries to navigate between the database schema and the operating system schema.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2001Date of Patent: November 1, 2005Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Raxit A. Kagalwala, John Patrick Thompson
